They were filming some car commercial outside my work today. Got a picture of the camera rig on the Porsche Cayenne






I think it might have been for the new Impala? Boring looking car.

That's actually the new Chevrolet SS. Kind of boring and subdued looking, but its a RWD Chevy with a V8, basically an updated G8 GXP, so it should hopefully be a fantastic car.

When I was in college the key to my town car decided to snap off about 2/3 into the ignition. I just used a flathead screwdriver to start it from then on. It's as cool as it sounds.

Did you take that picture? I know exactly where that dealership is in my city.

Low production/custom coachwork might be a stretch for this one, but hey. I have to post a pic.



In this vein:



That's a late '60s, early '70s Olds Toronado with a trailer grafted on. At least with a 425 or 455, it'll actually haul whatever you want. There's also an actual frame to graft the trailer to.

Tissier's were used in Africa to transport Alouette helocopters! I think these were used to cover Dakar.

Oh cool, I've actually been here. It's a place in Berlin called Classic Remise. It's a bunch of working uh, workshops in one big warehouse. They also have a bunch of climate controlled glass boxes. Apparently the boxes cheap-ish to rent (considering what's in them), but people can just wander in and check them out.

Here's some photos I took. Sorry they're so small, I got these off my travel blog and the originals are on another computer.

Is that the one they used for testing aeroplane tyres or something? A big wheel in the middle of the back section. Or was it another similarly coloured one?

Not so sure about the face the lady is pulling But I do love that photo.

I was going to say that it's just the "new stratos" that some guy made out of the F430 (I think 10 were made)... but actually that picture looks different from the production version. Maybe it's a concept?

Seizure Meat

Here in AI we've talked a bunch about car collectors like Jay Leno and their awesome collections. One guy I've never heard a mention about, though, is George Poteet. A very humble, self made man, he's pretty famous on the custom car circuit here in America, and has been for the better part of three decades. If there's an award for custom cars, he's won it. He's helped create famous shops like Rad Rides by Troy, he usually has multiple cars under construction at any one time. When he has a car built, he generally says "I want X car, here's a blank check and you build it the way you want. I trust you", which is an awesome way to operate since custom cars are works of art and it's best to let an artist have free reign. Oh and he's set multiple records at Bonneville. I'll give you guys a taste of his immense car collection, but you all should dive in and check out more if you like these.























Here's a pretty good Hot Rod Magazine article giving you a bit more of his background. The guy is one of my inspirations. It's one thing to have millions of dollars and collect cars, but another thing entirely to fund multiple unknown shops simultaneously, often by giving his total trust to their vision instead of his. He has great taste in cars and knows when to let an artist create rolling sculptures without getting in the way.

The Bonneville thing is just icing on the cake, he could easily hire a driver and set records as an owner, but the guy has personally driven the Speed Demon streamliner over 400 miles an hour.

In fact, he has more runs over 400 miles an hour than anyone in Bonneville history.

As much as I hate seeing someone's expensive engine blow up, that guy deserved it. I can't think of a dumber display of power than truck tug of war. At least put slicks on so we can see some real damage.

Have a picture.
